Pin Diagram and Explanation of 8085 Microprocessor
Explanation of all Pins of 8085 Microprocessor:
1. A8-A15: Higher-order Address Bus
2. AD0-AD7: Lower-order Address/Data Bus (Multiplexed)
3. ALE (Address Latch Enable): Used to de-multiplex address/data lines.
4. IO/M: Distinguishes between I/O and memory operations.
5. S0 and S1: Status signals for operation type.
6. RD (Read): Indicates read operation.
7. WR (Write): Indicates write operation.
8. READY: Checks if a device is ready for data transfer.
9. HOLD: External device requests control of address/data buses.
